The American Branch of the Shang Shung Institute has recently received a very generous offer from a member with a long-time interest in Tibetan Medicine. This member would like to help us start a scholarship fund for students of the School of Tibetan Medicine. The donor's businesses, JCROWS.com and the J. Crow Company look to support this very positive development in holistic health care by establishing the scholarship for 2010.

This donor has agreed to match donations to start a School of Tibetan Medicine Scholarship fund, up to $2500, for a total of $5000 seed money to start the scholarship fund. We have 90 days total to receive all donations towards the matching grant, so the deadline for all donations is: March 9, 2010.

The Scholarship will be need-based, and students will be asked to apply. The board and staff of the SSI-USA will choose the winner or winners for the first year's scholarship(s) by the beginning of the Fall, 2010 semester.

To send a donation, please add this item to your cart in multiples of $10.

Additionally you can contact Anna Bartenstein, through email at: a.bartenstein@shangshunginstitute.org or call the SSI office phone at 413-369-4928.

We, and our students thank you immensely for your support of our program, and their studies.

Gifts to support or endow scholarships helps students meet the cost of tuition and fees. As pioneers in a fledging program, it is often challenging for students to find the resources necessary to fund their education.
